Saturday, morning, 8-8-26

Saturday, morning.   Wrote my script for Enchantress 6 - Evangeline.  Created the videos.  Will work on it later.  Playing around with Gemini for creating stuff for my classes.  Using AI to minimize the usage of AI by my students in doing a project.  And determining adjustments I will have to make to my online quizzes and exams to minimize the usage of AI.  AI is amazing.  People need to realize AI is JUST a tool for now.  One day, it may advance further, but it can't be more cold and heartless as most people.  Quite honest, maybe one day it will advance pass people?  Maybe AI will learn to appreciate God.  Anyway, it is interesting.  Maybe check out Google Photos.  May have to use Google Notebook a little more.  Google has so much out there.  Use it to put my thoughts and idea about things and organize them.  Focus them.  Later.  Got my photos clips for my project.  Just have to edit them, then I start the video editing.  Bed, hopefully, in a few minutes.  Google Photos highlights didn't have much.  Did have a video of a dragonfly I held between my fingers.  It got wet from the pool and I was holding it hoping it would dry.  I believe, it did.  Have photos of it.  Reminded me of the other day when I cut grass.  Had a green one dance with me a little, then a blue one dance with me when I walked up the porch steps.  Love, dragonflies.  Well, guess I am going to post this now.  Do have a great Saturday.  Take care, be safe.  God bless.  May dragonflies dance with you, today.

TGIF, 8-7-26

Early Friday morning.  Changed my taskbar icons around some and centered the taskbar.  Have to get use to it.  Found a video player to replace VLC.  Hope it is an improvement.  Helped a student a few days back and got a 'thank you' message.  I appreciate it.  They will be taking one of my classes this semester.  Do have to review my courses and redesign some because of AI, but I do emphasize AI.  It isn't as bad as people think and the thing to remember, if we don't advance in AI, RED China will.  We are not in this world alone.  One of my Midway movies, haha.  Got Enchantresses - Freddy done.  Number 5.  What is next.  Loving my chair, so that worked out.  Feeling stronger, but ain't use to it.  Which makes me more worried about losing concentration and doing something stupid.  Don't know what I can do to get my biological clock straightened out.  Chance ate his regular dog food, so miracles do happen.  And a few treats, haha.  Later.  No, bed, yet, but soon, I hope.  Maybe go get mail first.  Been playing around with computer stuff, my browser and QR codes (neat).  Well, check on Mutt, garbage and mail.  Do have a great TGIF.  Well, Google Photos first, I guess.  Oh, learned how to take screenshots from video, neat, too.  Take care, be safe.  God bless.  Mom use to call it nerves, but she was wrong.  If it was nerves, I would still have them, I don't.  Life is a lot better.  Demon or whatever, they are gone and it is nice.  Found some new photos which I haven't for a long, long, long, long time.  Miss the pool somewhat, but it has its issues.

Thurday, 8-6-26

Playing around with my desktop some.  And my taskbar.  Rearranging my apps on the taskbar and trying to stop one of the icons from changing when the program updates.  Always something.  Getting the feeling of staying up all day, OM.  Yes, Chance is doing great.  Still drives me nuts!  Yes, it is his fault that I am a little kookie (looked the word up and it might apply; ain't too bad, haha).  I like looking things up quickly.  Don't try to memorize them, but to keep my brain active and a little focused.  Got a name for my next Enchantresses.  Now, to start writing.  Somebody I knew years ago supposedly like writing and I still have some of her writings but that never panned out, so guess she didn't really have the act for it.  Guess we all grow up and get away from things we think we first love.  I do enjoy writing, but I like going all over the place.  Hard to stay focused on one thing.  Hope I can do this with Enchantresses.  I think some great characters and products could be made with them if they catch on.  I am just too old to push it, but someone with ambition and talent could.  Later, time for writing a little, then a little rest, I hope.  Did some writing after dealing with the Mutt.  There was a little thundering so I had to lay down with him at the foot of the bed.  Chance won't lay under the blanket when it is thundering.  Go, figure.  Played with some icons again.  Always learning little new things, haha.  Couple of new apps (free) I am trying to pick up on a little.  Photos has been going back a lot of years for some highlights.  These gator photos over 20+ years ago.  Apparently, gators like marshmallows.  Do have a good night, nice sleep, and wonderful dreams if you read this before going to sleep.  If not, have a great TGIF.  Take care, be safe.  God bless.  Waiting for a ton of things tomorrow.  Mostly, grocery stuff.  Cheaper to get off Amazon since I am a prime member.  Walmart can be a little more expensive sometimes.  Just depends.  Then there is the convenience.  Think my storyline might work out for number 5.

Thursday, morning, 8-6-26

Thursday, early morning.  Whew.  Did have a great nap yesterday evening.  Didn't feel bad, but lying on the sofa I fell into a deep sleep.  Boy, it was good.  Finished my Enchantresses 4 - Valentine.  Will have to see if I can come up with some storylines or just quit and start something else.  Will see.  Rain somewhat yesterday evening, but not for too long.  Predicted rain for the next week or more.  Hope not too bad.  Glad I got the grass cut, but do have to do some trimming.  Will see.  Found a new open source video editor (free).  Something quick and easy to use for minor editing.  Still a learning curve to it.  Will see.  That dog does drive me crazy with his eating.  But nice that he doesn't eat just to eat.  If he is full, he won't touch his food.  Kinda drives me crazy.  One more week than back to school.  Got me a laser pointer using some Dell Rewards from my computer purchase.  Got some flavoring/syrup coming in for using with my meal replacement, sugar free of course.  Next week, do have to try to start back with the weights and stuff.  Don't have to do too much, but do have to start some.  Am enjoying being in better health, didn't know how bad my body really was doing.  A big difference.  Enjoying harmonizing with things, time, and, I guess, you can say life.  Would like to get back into the science stuff, but being a layman, my fine points surely have some explanation by the established science.  End of "The King."  Maybe one more movie.  Do have some questions about the General Relatively theory.  "Father Christmas is Back."  I think the use of the term space is a misnomer, as well as, the use of time.  Spacetime.  Don't think the concepts are completely off, but the terms are, or maybe, my definition of them are.  Spacetime and ether need to be intertwined.  Telsa believed more in ether and he was pretty bright about many things.  He was a little out of the norm, but very brilliant.  Well, have a great Thursday.  Take care, be safe.  God bless.

Tuesday, evening, Wednesday, 8-5-26

My seat cover came in.  Didn't know 12 cans of stewed tomatoes were so big and heavy, haha.  Discovered my mother's Verdun side at one time owned a lot of land further south years ago.  Verdun is more creole than Cajun.  But, my mother's grandmother, Valentine, was Cajun most likely.  So, we do have some Cajun in us.  Time to put my seat cover on.  Later.  Cover wasn't difficult to put on and fixes quite well.  Surprising.  Later.  Finished my script for Enchantresses 4 - Valentine.  Now, to start working on it.  I could work on it straight through the night, but want to learn how to pace myself.  Use my photos of Penelope to slow me down, haha.  Do enjoy my photo frames.  Later.  Thursday morning went out and cut all the grass.  Some of it was getting pretty high.  The lawn mower did great.  Started a little after 9:00 and finished around 11:30.  Was starting to get hot, but nothing too bad.  My hat seems to keep my head cool.  Anyway, got her done, just so much more that needs to be done, haha.  Feel like I have two new legs, regular legs.  Didn't use the walking stick and did fine.  Took a shower.  Question hit me as I was getting out of the shower, "Do people dry off top to bottom or from bottom to top, or some other routine?"  Know what common sense says, but sometimes common sense is not always so obvious, haha.  Little One's photos do make me laugh.  Don't have a Wells Fargo account.  The scams out there.  Haha.  Maybe in a few years when I get more senile I might have one, haha.  Work on my Enchantresses later.  Gemini does well with the videos, BUT it has it moments, haha.  Just will have to do some editing, but getting there.  Chance might be hungry, haha.  Later.  Whew.  Sitting on the sofa and fell to sleep.  Nice nap.  Well, weather starting to get bad here, so do have a good night.  Sleep well, dream even better.  Take care, be safe.  God bless.

Tuesday, evening, 8-4

Weather apps, UGH!  Yesterday, suppose to be clear until Friday.  Raining right now.  Tad thunder.  My big Weenie Dog is bothered.  Oh, boy.  Yesterday, found some photos of the version of the Great Wall of China I built to separate the big dogs from the little dogs years ago at the old house.  Just another example of where some people really don't appreciate what you do for them.  They put you out and think they are doing you a favor.  Appreciation, so rare.  It was an experience, especially the maintenance and repairs, haha.  Henry and Maggie were nice dogs.  Found a couple of new photos with Janet at a plantation we visited once.  Used MS Paint, which I don't normally use, for one of the photos.  Did great.  AI is here to stay I think.  Starting to thunder more, oh, boy.  Got my meal replacement stuff, still one more package to go from Amazon.  Oh, computers, haha.  Will probably start working on Enchantresses number 4.  Got some ideas for that.  Until later.  Do have a great evening, a great night, sleep well, and dream of hitting the lottery.  Yes, it will all be in your dreams, haha.  Prices have just gotten too high for me.  $5 for a ticket, just too much.  Same with GoFundMe.  They are charging too much now.  Send someone a donation yesterday and costed $17.50.  Way too much.  Companies need to make money, but there is a limit to greed.  Take care, be safe, God bless.

Almost Tuesday, 8/3

Almost Tuesday.  First, God played His joke today.  Lightly sleeping and my watch goes off with a notice:  "It has arrived."  I was waiting for my meal replacement stuff, Ka'Chava, so thought it arrived.  Checked the porch, not there, put pants on, checked the carport, not there.  Now, shaking my head, thinking how I had to deal with a miss delivered package.  Get inside to track the package.  Getting it tomorrow, Tuesday.  Shook my head.  The notice was for a new flavor that is arriving, that they are now selling.  UGH.  Don't laugh.  Out of sync all day.  Better now, but the time, my bio clock so screwed up.  Oh, well.  Donated a little money to someone on GoFundMe.  Shame things are getting so bad and so many people are fighting with themselves instead of trying to make the World a better place for people.  The hatred and violence is getting so worse, why, it is easier than being strong and firm and standing by your beliefs.  When you truly don't have beliefs, it is easy to blame others.  The devil in you comes out.  Finished some work on "The Villains."  Might work on it Tuesday morning, but will see.  Found some photos on Google that I don't remember.  People still don't really understand what Penelope meant to me, but that is OK.  Very few people truly understands God's world.  Sorry, but that is the truth and the truth hurts.  They have good lives and are living life to its fullest but they are missing something, which they may not be aware of.  So, guess no one is hurt?  But God.  God's world is more of a spiritual thing.  So be it.  Harmonize might be a better word than sync.  More harmonized with God's world.  Well, do have a great Tuesday.  Take care, be safe.  God bless.  Changed my file explorer to another program.  Used it before, but Google Search helped me fine tune it some; some programming to it, mainly changing hex color codes.  Took awhile.

Sunday, morning, 8-2-26

Whew!  Food prices!!! and trying to find stuff not too bad for diabetics.  Got a seat cover, I don't like the feel of leather on my bare leg skin.  Price is not too bad.  Got some canned stewed tomatoes to see how I might like those.  Got them on Amazon.  Don't like just getting one small item.  Worked on Enchantresses some.  Whew!  Work!!!  Ugh!  Haha.  "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan."  Bugs get in sometimes when I let Chance back in.  He did start eating.  Must be a timing thing.  Later.  Well, time for bed.  Did get some videos done for my next Enchantresses video project.  Finished the script earlier today.  Learning which resources to use.  Google Gemini seems easier to use then Google Flow.  Google Flow is for more realistic videos, but it is slower, more people on it I guess.  Gemini is not so realistic but nice enough and its videos can be funnier.  I look for funny, haha.  Did look through some photos.  These highlighted ones didn't have much, but flipped through some others.  Found one of Penelope and Janet; another one of Aunt Lillian; one I don't remember having of Aunt Marie's and Uncle Leroy's burial plaque; and one of Valentine and her other, Theodore.  Did think tonight, how logical God's world is and people just don't seem to get it.  Guess they are not suppose to.  Well, have a great Sunday and take care.  Loving my chair except for the leather, why a seat cover.  Either that are wear longer pants, haha.  Have a great Sunday.  YES, Chance is OK.  Sacked out.  Later.  Gemini does make some funny little clips from simple prompts.
